Dove Inspired Campaign!

12:00 AM

Did you know that 72 percent
of girls (ages 10-17) feel a tremendous amount of pressure to be beautiful? And only 11 percent of girls (ages 1are comfortable
using the word beautiful to describe themselves?

That’s a pathetic number! But
lemme tell you, when I was between the ages 10-17, I felt anything but beautiful.
I am the first to admit, no matter how many times I was told by my own mother,
friends, or family, that I was beautiful, I never felt it.School didn’t make it any easier too.

I had a girl in high school
torment me about my weight. Bullied, is more the word but at the time it went
BEYOND bullying. It was tormenting. I asked one of the popular guys out to Sadie’s,
it just so happen, it was her crush. We
were just friends and I thought nothing of it. When our pictures came back, somehow
she got a hold of one and wrote, “Fat cow” across my picture. I was hurt,
confused and most of all I had felt the ugliest I had EVER felt.I swore I was NEVER gonna feel that way again
because of another.

I have grown to love myself
and think I am beautiful. I think all teens should feel this way! This is why I
love Dove’s Vive Mejor Hablemos “Lets Talk”campaign. Dove
believes beauty should be a source of confidence, not anxiety and Dove is
committed to inspiring all women and girls to reach their full potential. WE
ALL HAVE potential!

More
than half of girls globally say that their mother is their number one female
role model (66 percent U.S., 59 percent Canada), yes, ladies, if you are a
mother with a daughter, your confidence is a role model to your daughter and
those younger around you. Lets start being confident and lets start being
beautiful!

-Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. -Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art. -A woman whose smile is open and whose expression is glad has a kind of beauty no matter what she wears.http://free-make-up.blogspot.com
